Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Java, SD.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the person will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Java earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help people or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person completes treatment.
